Cord blood transplantation with a specific conditioning regimen and post-transplant treatment

Cord Blood Transplantation With Myeloablative Conditioning and Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide in Patients With Hematological Malignancies (The COmPACt Study)

Observational Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · NCT03802773

This study is testing a new way to use cord blood for transplants to see if a specific treatment can help prevent complications and improve recovery for patients receiving the transplant.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the outcomes of cord blood transplantation using a myeloablative conditioning regimen combined with post-transplant cyclophosphamide for preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The primary focus is on assessing neutrophil and platelet engraftment, as well as CD4+ cell counts at day +100 post-transplant. Secondary objectives include measuring the incidence and severity of both acute and chronic GVHD. The study aims to provide insights into alternative approaches for T cell depletion in cord blood transplantation.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with specific hematological malignancies who are eligible for cord blood transplantation.

Not a fit: Patients with active infections such as HIV, acute hepatitis B, or acute hepatitis C will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve patient outcomes by enhancing immune recovery and reducing transplant-related complications.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on cord blood transplantation, this specific approach with post-transplant cyclophosphamide is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
